California, here we come!

Tomorrow we leave for our holiday to California!  Today we had to take Daisy to the kennel.  It was SO HARD to leave her there.  It seems like a nice place and I'm sure they know what they're doing (there were lots of dogs there, anyway) but Daisy is a special case.  She was left in a dumpster, pregnant and emaciated, when she wasn't even two years old and then adopted and returned twice to the SPCA.  We are her "forever" home as the SPCA says, but maybe she isn't so sure of that now that we took her to this strange place and drove away.  I keep picturing her worried face behind the fence as we walked to the car.  I know dogs don't think the way we do and I know she's not analyzing what happened, but she's worried and sad and probably will be for a few days while she gets used to the routine.  It's one of those many times when you wish you could speak to her and say, "we'll be BACK, Daisy.  Don't worry.  We are your forever home."
